It just so happens that David from Chicago is also seeking allocation advice, especially in light of Vanguard's shift on its target date funds. Here are two sample portfolio allocations to consider:

BALANCED

  • 10% Money Market fund
  • 30% Bond Index Fund
  • 10% International Bond Index
  • 30% Total Stock Market Index Fund
  • 5% Small Cap Index Fund
  • 10% International Stock Index Fund
  • 5% Emerging Market Stock Index Fund

GROWTH

  • 5% Money Market fund
  • 20% Bond Index Fund
  • 5% International Bond Index
  • 35% Total Stock Market Index Fund
  • 10% Small Cap Index Fund
  • 15% International Stock Index Fund
  • 10% Emerging Market Stock Index Fund
